After almost two years in Palo Alto, @Interaction is moving to SF.
Some opportunities are bigger than sunshine! 🌴
Cognition is acquiring @Interaction, the makers of Poke.
If you've ever used Poke, you know why we're so excited.

I think the final state of coding agents you interact with are something like ChatGPT Dots, Grok Bot or Poke by @interaction (hopefully). There’s no reason the “agent” who completes work for you shouldn’t have virtually infinite context/memory & be able to communicate with you from any surface with the same identity. Pair this with a good model router for all the tasks the agent starts & you have your own “software factory” or whichever buzzwords you’d like to use. I hear “engine” is on the rise

I think we’ll be seeing what @cognition x @interaction looks like very soon
Poke retweeted
playing around with a custom @raycast x @interaction extension 💙
the ui is ass (please @peduarte let me use chat components) and it still lacks a lot of basic things (sync/tapbacks/thinking states - please @marvinvonhagen)
even so it's been fun! 🙉

still find it genuinely crazy how @interaction were the ones to kick off this whole wave
Poke retweeted

@interaction saw this way earlier than everyone else fr
Poke deserves more credit for seeing this early.
Before every major AI lab started shipping personal agents, Poke was already exploring what it meant to have an AI you could simply text.
Now look at how far the idea has evolved:
• Poke: personal agent through messaging
• Instinct: personal agent with deeper capabilities
• Grok Bot: multiple personal agents that can coordinate
• Muse: Meta’s version of a personal agent
• Dots: OpenAI’s version of a personal agent
• Coral: a shared agent for the entire family
We’re moving towards agents that don’t just answer us, but know our context, access our tools, coordinate with others and actually get things done.
The personal agent era is here.

It's insane how early Poke was to personal agents playing with the idea of texting an agent.
Look at how far we've come:
- Flip: personal finance AI with text
- Fo: agent which can call, schedule and work
- Kat: fastest email reading and sending agent via imessage
- Instinct: one of the first iMessage agents to do real work
- Ecomerate: the first constant stock and supply chain research and monitoring agent all through text
The era of messaging is finally here.
